π HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | Critical Distinction: Knitted vs. Non-Knitted | 2026 Tariff Strategy
β οΈ CRITICAL ALERT:
The data provided in<DATA>strictly covers "Non-Knitted, Non-Crocheted" (Woven) goods under Chapter 62.
Knitted or Crocheted goods belong to Chapter 61.There is NO direct HS Code overlap between Chapter 61 (Knitted) and the provided Chapter 62 (Non-Knitted) codes.
Misclassifying knitted items as non-knitted (or vice versa) is a major compliance risk leading to seizure, fines, or double taxation.
π δΈγThe Fundamental Trap: Knitted vs. Non-Knitted
| Feature | Knitted or Crocheted (Chapter 61) | Non-Knitted / Woven (Chapter 62) |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric Structure | Interlooped yarns (stretchy, flexible) | Interlaced yarns (structured, less stretchy) |
| HS Chapter | Chapter 61 (e.g., 6101β6117) | Chapter 62 (e.g., 6201β6217) |
| Example Items | T-shirts, sweaters, socks, knit dresses | Suit jackets, woven trousers, woven shirts |
| Relevance to Provided Data | β NOT COVERED in <DATA> |
β
FULLY COVERED in <DATA> |
π Why This Matters:
The<DATA>snippet explicitly lists items described as "Non-Knitted or Non-Crocheted" (ιιη»ζιι©ηΌ).
If you submit a knitted garment (e.g., a cotton T-shirt) using these HS codes, customs will reject it because: 1. The HS Code prefix62xximplies woven textiles. 2. The tax rates in<DATA>are calculated for woven origin/materials. 3. Knitted garments may have different base tariffs and different Section 301/122 tariff applicability.
π« δΊγWhy These <DATA> Codes Do NOT Apply to Knitted Items
The provided data includes:
- 6216.00.90.00 & 6216.00.80.00: "Other garments... non-knitted"
- 6217.10.85.00, 6217.10.95.50: "Other accessories... non-knitted"
- 6215.90.00.20: "Other accessories... non-knitted"
If your product is Knitted/Crocheted:
- Do NOT use these HS Codes.
- Incorrect Classification: Using 62xx for knitted goods is a material misrepresentation.
- Consequence:
- Customs may reclassify to the correct Chapter 61 code.
- You may still owe Section 301/122 tariffs, but the base rate might differ.
- Penalties for incorrect declaration.
π‘ δΈγCorrect HS Code Reference for Knitted/Crocheted Items (Chapter 61)
Since <DATA> does not cover knitted items, here is the correct guidance for Knitted or Crocheted Garments & Accessories:
| Item Type | Correct HS Code Chapter | Example HS Codes (2026) | Base Tariff (US) | Section 301/122 Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knitted T-Shirts | Ch. 61 | 6109.10.0000 (Cotton) |
~16.5% | β Yes (Likely subject to 7.5β10% add'l) |
| Knitted Sweaters | Ch. 61 | 6110.20.0000 (Cotton) |
~16.5% | β Yes |
| Knitted Socks | Ch. 61 | 6115.10.0000 |
~10β16% | β Yes |
| Knitted Gloves | Ch. 61 | 6116.10.0000 |
~10β16% | β Yes |
| Crocheted Dresses | Ch. 61 | 6104.43.0000 |
~16.5% | β Yes |
π Note:
- Knitted items often face different base tariffs than woven items. - They are still subject to Section 301 and Section 232 (if steel/aluminum content, rare for textiles) and Section 122 if applicable. - Always verify the specific knitting material (Cotton, Synthetic, Wool) as it changes the 8-digit code.
π οΈ εγCustoms Clearance Advice: Avoiding the "Knitted vs. Woven" Mistake
β 1. Material Testing & Documentation
| Document | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Fabric Swatch | Submit a physical or digital swatch showing the loop structure (knitted) vs. weave structure (woven). |
| Supplier Declaration | Explicitly state: "This item is Knitted (or Crocheted)" vs. "This item is Woven/Non-Knitted." |
| Composition Label | Must clearly indicate fiber content (e.g., 100% Cotton Knit). |
β 2. Declaration Strategy
- If Knitted: Use Chapter 61 HS Codes. Do not use the
62xxcodes from<DATA>. - If Woven: Use the
62xxcodes provided in<DATA>. - Hybrid Items (e.g., Knitted body, Woven sleeves): Complex classification. Consult a customs broker. May be classified under the principal character or specific subheading rules.
β 3. Tax Calculation Warning
- Do not apply the tax rates from
<DATA>(e.g., 21.3%, 24.6%) to knitted items unless you have verified that the Chapter 61 equivalent has the exact same Section 301/122 treatment (which is not guaranteed). - Example: A knitted cotton t-shirt (
6109.10.0000) might have a base tariff of 16.5% + 7.5% (Section 301) + 10% (Section 122) = 34%. This is different from the woven shirts in<DATA>.
π δΊγGlobal Market Insight: Knitted vs. Woven Tariffs
| Market | Knitted (Ch. 61) | Woven (Ch. 62) | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| πΊπΈ United States | Higher scrutiny on "Knitted" origin; frequent audits | Covered by <DATA>; clear Section 301/122 rates |
Knitted items often have higher base tariffs than woven equivalents. |
| π¨π³ China (Import) | 10β16% base | 5β14% base | China favors woven manufacturing; knitted may face higher quotas. |
| πͺπΊ European Union | 12% base | 12% base | Both generally 0% under GSP if originating from eligible developing countries. |
π― ε γConclusion & Action Plan
β DO NOT use <DATA> HS Codes for Knitted/Crocheted Items.
β DO identify the correct Chapter 61 HS Code.
Steps for Accurate Classification: 1. Determine Fabric Structure: Is it knitted (stretchy, loops) or woven (structured, grid)? 2. Identify Fiber Content: Cotton, Polyester, Wool, etc. 3. Select Correct HS Code: Use Chapter 61 for knitted, Chapter 62 for woven. 4. Verify Tariffs: Check if Section 301 and Section 122 apply to the Chapter 61 code. 5. Consult a Broker: For hybrid or complex items, professional classification is essential.
π Final Reminder:
The<DATA>provided is strictly for Non-Knitted (Woven) Goods.
Using it for Knitted items is a compliance violation.
Always match the HS Code to the physical structure of the textile.
π£ Pro Tip:
"Knit or Crochet? Think Chapter 61.
Woven or Non-Knit? Think Chapter 62.
Never mix them up, or your cargo will stuck!"

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) β Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) β More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) β Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) β Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate β The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate β Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties β Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
